Parallel Problem Solution:
Series Problem:
Given:
Suction at Pump Station 1 = 30 PSI
Discharge a Pump Station 1 = 860
Fuel
= MOGAS
Find:
FTH at suction side of Pump Station 1
Total discharge in FTH of Pump Station
Net discharge FTH of Pump Station
Net FTH generated per pump
Series Problem Solution:
e. Discharge pressures are kept within safe working limits of pump,
pipes, and fittings to produce the desired rate of flow. Products handled
in a multiproduct line vary greatly in gravity and viscosity. To maintain
an even rate of flow, stations pumping a heavier or more viscous product
must develop higher pressure than other stations simultaneously pumping
lighter or less viscous product. Therefore, the heaviest product sets the
rate of flow.
f. Because gravity and viscosity affect flow, suction and discharge
pressure at one station are seldom identical to pressures at an adjacent
station. Hydraulic characteristics
